Uxer told the El Paso Times that he supported a bond to supplement the cost of planned additions to El Paso Community College campuses. He said, "President (William) Serrata has been very clear that (in 2019) we would need to go out to the community and inform them of what we have and this is what we have done on our own. If I'm not mistaken, this will be only the second bond issue that has gone out for general obligation in the 50 years the community college has been in existence."[4]
